I never thought I would say this but to me Reaper is the greatest champ around. Sure the guy lacks social skills, he is pain in the ass, has a big mouth, doesnt do what he promises BUT .... as a champ -unlike ALL the others- he gives anyone a shot at his titles, and not once but multiple times. Reaper keeps this game alive by giving title shots to African, Boon and all the others.
A true champ fights everyone, laggy or not, and that is exactly what Reaper does. The lag is not in his advantage, but he takes the fights, comes back from 5-1 knockdowns behind and claims what is his: the championship belt!!

Why I mean considering he had a 26-0 record when u fought him u must have known it was an alt, and u could just refuse to fight him.
But u chose to on ur own free will.
Then u lose and start cying ? it makes no sense at all.

Larry, Reaper is championship material. He doesnt back down from a challenge (like most others), even if someone has a 26-0 record and is playing on his alt, even if his challenger lags.
Reaper is the peoples champ. He fights anyone any time. Thats what a champ is all about!

Its partly true boon he gives shot to people that pose a risk, but that he is fairly sure that he will beat.
He aint a bad champ but nothing like example unstop was..he handed shots (and beatings) left right all night..
Still not bad for a nob

Larry the part that is not true is where I write that reaper lacks social skills, is a pain in the ass, has a big mouth and doesnt do what he promises?

pfft.. I remember the days when i was around and he used to avoid anyone who would be a slight threat just to protect his padded points.. For that, i'll never give him any respect and certainly never give him any credit.
An example of a reason why he will never be respected by me -
I was testing some controls for my laptop (defaults aren't there), i fought him and lost TKO1. Now it's clear for him that he can win again however.. he says, "lol want a rm" and then "i'll give u a free win". It looks like nothing, but remember the point system. He want to beat me after i took his pointsso that he could get more points after he wins. This is retarded and i wasn't even shocked that he tried this.
So, tell me Boon.. Why the hell should i even think about respecting this lowlife idiot who tries to do ridiculous things like this? Or why would i respect someone that has absoloutely no respect for anyone else? I get it.. It's because he fights you even under extreme lag when nobody else does.
"as a champ -unlike ALL the others- he gives anyone a shot at his titles, and not once but multiple times."
That's dumb, how can you say that no other champ has given anyone a shot? What about Fatny, Larry, Unstoppable, Pieced up, Squeezed Head, Oscar, Black Bear, Rocky and Nigel?? Didn't they give everyone shots? You know what, you have no say in this boon. The reason people don't want to fight you is because it takes a whole fucking hour to finish a 10 rounder with you. Just because Reaper gives you a shot, it doesn't mean that Reaper gives everyone a shot.
This thread is the most bs by far for a long time. It's worse then Reapers 'U GOT KTFO' threads. You haven't thought about this, Boon. So try and think about where i'm coming from. You probably rarely get a shot at titles because of your terrible ping, so the moment someone does you thank them greatly.. and you can't really go against what i'm saying -
Boons quotes..
"A true champ fights everyone, laggy or not, and that is exactly what Reaper does."
"even if someone has a 26-0 record and is playing on his alt, even if his challenger lags."

what ray says is true, fighting 26-0 guys is alright, but fighting the 200+ ping guys is another thing. It's 3x or 4x slower than a normal fight and you always have the feeling that it could freeze at any moment.
To me that's just slow and boring torture, i'd rather leave and have a loss than do a whole 12 rds at that speed.

You hit the nail right on the head.
When I was around it was obvious to me that he calculated whether or not to fight someone based on his strengths and weaknesses. He fought some top fighters, but ducked others who exploited his weaknesses. Example, he would have 30 fights a day with Red Viper and Unstop (no surprise very aggressive fighters), yet ducked other top fighters like Larry, me and Fatny.
I don't see why he deserves credit now, before he used to fight the same people then when someone like Larry wanted a fight it was "ohhh tired now, need a rest". He is taking on allcomers now but that's because he now feels his skill level is really high and can beat everybody, you don't become NO1 padder to a generous title shot giver out of nowhere, he isn't as dumb as what people think, he is a calculated padder.
God I feel like making a comeback just to smash the crap outta him everyday.

I keep saying reaper keeps this game alive by fighting the likes of Boon, Africa and other laggers. He is the only champ who gives title shots to us. A real champ like Reaper knows how to fight under different circumstances. Sure a fight with lag is different than a fight with no lag, Reaper adapts his strategy, comes back from 5-1 knockdowns behind and knocks me out. I give him a lot of credit for fighting us laggers (he could avoid fighting us like Larry, Fatny, Bear etc.), it keeps the game alive as Africa and I are on a lot.
I am not saying Reaper is a nice kid, because he is not, but I respect him a lot as a champ.

Boon i agree in part with what u say and i also agree with Ray, Reaper used 2 give me lots of shots when i first made my comeback because he knew he would win but now that im in top shape its a different thing, and Boon u know i fight anyone including you and African Assassin.. But it still doesnt take away the fact that Reaper only gave shots to the people he knew he would beat..
P.S. Reaper dont say u didnt know it was me u wr fighting because before the rematch Fatny and everyone told u it was me bro, and u said quote " now that i know its Vargas i'll beat him"...
